Career Break

Escape the Mundane

If you’re looking for a break from the old routine, or want to reinvigorate your career by trying something new, we have some amazing projects for you. Both short term and long term options are available.

Career breaks are fantastic ways to use your talents, develop new skills and explore the world around you. No matter how long you have available, whether it's two weeks or even a year, taking a career break can be the best decision you will ever make.

Not only will your time in project equip you with experience and knowledge which you can use for your future career, it can also be the changing point for your life. At Agapé Adventures we have had many people who, having spent time in our projects, have completely reviewed their career path and decide that it was time - in the words of Monty Python - "...for something completely different!"

No matter what your background, age or reason for taking a career break, we know from experience the great impact it can have on your life.

So if you think it's time for a change or to give something back, don't put it off - get in touch with us today!
